'Third Day' in the Bible

From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he had to leave for Jerusalem and endure great suffering at the hands of the elders and high priests and scribes, and be killed and raised on the third day.

they will kill him, but on the third day he will be raised." They were greatly distressed at this.

and hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified; then on the third day he will be raised."

Now then, give orders for the tomb to be kept secure till the third day, in case his disciples go and steal him and then tell the people, 'He has risen from the dead.' The end of the fraud will then be worse than the beginning of it."
